NOTE: Some regional recoding was necessary to harmonize the different surveys. The final regions used in each survey are shown in the plot below:
Mortality trends for each region
The plots below show the mortality experienced by different age groups in the different regions of Nigeria.
0 - 14 years
15 - 49 years
Poisson Model
The results of the Poisson regression (using age group, time period and country region as predictors) are shown below:
